We're going to the BVI!

Next week, Team One Newport's Martha Parker has volunteered to be the first guest blogger for Scuttleblog. Martha will be an instructor at the 14th Annual Women on the Water Week, an event hosted by Bitter End Yacht Club in the BVI.

If you've haven't been to BEYC, this place is a slice of heaven. Martha will be joined there by Olympic sailor and coauthor of Sailing for Dummies JJ Isler, big-boat cruiser Pam Wall, and US Sailing President Janet Baxter, where they will provide participants with exceptional hands-on instruction and superb shoreside activities.

My guess is that clinic attendees will be pretty dialed in racers by the end of the week, plus have a good start on their 2006 tan too. We look forward to Martha's observations on the event, and who knows what else. - Craig Leweck
